Scientists are closer to creating a quantum spin liquid, a state where electron spins stay dynamic even at near absolute zero, key for future quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) The future of computing ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into place like disciplined soldiers. However, ...

An international team of scientists led by Rice's Pengcheng Dai has confirmed the existence of emergent photons and fractionalized spin excitations in a rare quantum spin liquid. An international team ...

Scientists uncovered a quantum spin liquid, a state of matter that may have applications for quantum information. (Nanowerk News) The blue-green lab-grown crystals look like solid rocks, but their ...

For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

Physicists have finally secured direct evidence that quantum spin ice, a long-hypothesized and highly unusual state of matter, actually exists in a real material. The confirmation caps years of ...
